GAME DEVICE.

Application filed November 25, 1919.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KONRAD HAssmnens, a citizen of the Republic of Germany, and a resident of Bronx, borough of Manhattan, county of Bronx, city and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Game Device, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The present invention relates to a game device and has particular reference to a game which includes a tethered aerial projectile, and an objective for said projectlle, which embodies a series of individual point indicating characters which are adapted to be engaged by the projectile when the same is impelled by a person playing the game, for indicating the points gained by the player.

The object of the invention is to provide a cheap, simple and amusing game device which will involve a certain amount of skill and luck in playing the same.

Further objects will appear upon reference to the accompanying drawing in which,

The figure is a perspective view of the game device as proposed by the preferred embodiment of the invention.

Referring to the drawing in detail the game is adapted to be mounted upon a surface such as the board or slab 5 with a horizontal post 6 supported vertically at one end thereof, and with a horizontal arm 7 sup ported by the post near the top thereof, the end of which being provided with a hook 8 and adapted to fasten the suspension cord 9 of the aerial projectile 10. The length of the cord 9 is of such a length. as to enable the projectile to be suspended just above the surface of the slab or board 5, the purpose of which will be apparent upon a further reading of the description.

Supported parallel with the board or slab 5 by means of the short post 12 is a horizontal rack 11 which represents an objective for the projectile 10 in playing the game. This rack includes a series of individual point indicating characters 13, which are produced by reducing the diameter of the rack at intervals in the length thereof and with those portions of the rack left after the reductions in diameter providing annular dividing flanges 14c separating the individual point indicating characters one from the other.

In playing the game the projectile 10 is Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 340,465.

therearound which will enable the points gained by the player to be ascertained according to the character of the point provided on the portion engaged by the projectile and the cord. As an example, each one of the individual point indicating characters may be represented by a numeral so that when the cord is wrapped around the point indicating character with the numeral 4C thereon the same can count for the player as 4 points made. When the projectile and cord engages a point indicating character with the numeral 3 thereon it can count as 3 points gained by the player, etc.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is as follows 1. A game device including a tethered aerial projectile, and an objective for said projectile comprising a horizontal bar, having its diameter reduced at intervals throughout its length to constitute a series of characterized value indicating portions about which the tether is adapted to wrap when its path of movement is intercepted by the bar;

2. A game device comprising a horizontal mounting surface, a vertical post on said support, a transverse arm on said post and an aerial projectile suspended by a cord from the end of the said arm, whereby the projectile may be swung in circles around its suspension point, and an objective for said projectile comprising a horizontal rack supported at its ends above the said mounting surface, and parallel therewith, to intercept the path of movement of the cord, and

cause the same to wrap thereabout, said rack KONRAD HASSLINGER.
